Beschreibung

Worry and Anxiety; one of the greatest distorting substances in the world today, distorting the joy and happiness of people living in the world on daily basis with its stingy influences. So great is its influences in the life of the people that like a real monster which put the human to flight at either its presence or at the moment of the mentioning of its name, so also has its existence become in the life of the people. In fact, so great is its worth in the life of the people living in our world today that it seems like it is becoming one of the idolize things to them, that is defining their mood at every moment of the time, like their eating moment and their refraining moment from eating, their moment being happy and going out to caught fun with pals, and their moment of being solitary from all etc. In fact, so great has its influences become in the life of the people in our world today that even some people has really idolize in their life. Yes, this is very true. I once met a pal and also a PhD holder lecturer who once told me that one of the ways by which one can take to obtain success in this life is through the one learning to live a life of worrying and being anxious of life's process on daily basis.

In fact, like an unsurmountable and unconquerable real monster to the human so also has this substance of things called worry and anxiety being in our world. For despite the great measure layout by many scholars around the world on how to eradicate its existence in the life of the people, all seems to be to no avail. From our environment to off our environment (the social media world) what we see and hear is of the hurtful effects this monster is creating in the life of the people on daily basis (many people in our world today live in depression, dejection, despondency of life, and some have committed suicide all because of them being worried and anxious of one thing or the other etc.)

Howbeit, with an undisputability of its might over the humans because of the harbour its existence has created in their life, this monster of the world ought not to have an influence over the Christians. This is because Jesus Christ their mighty leader has proclaimed himself having preeminence over all things, both of physical and those of the spiritual through his resurrection from the death, and then sitting on a throne raised beyond every existing thrones under the heaven. Also, he has promised and also proclaimed giving this victory of his to all who believe on him (John1:12, Luke 10:19). But it is bizarre that despite this great Promises made by the Lord to his believers we still find that this monster of the world is still having preeminence over the believers as though they do not have a saviour to save them from it, there by making them to be of no differences between the people of the world and they who are called the children of God, for as the former so also is the latter (both control by this great monster who defines their mood of living life on daily basis). And this is making the word of the Lord to seem falsehood to his believers like he is just seeking to get followers from them. Howbeit, from his holy book (the Bible) it is affirmed that every word of his is true and there is no lie attached to it (Proverbs30:5), there by expressing that the proclamation of his to his believers of giving them victory over all things because they do believe on him isn't a falsehood statement to them for him to just get followers from them. 

The question then rises, why then does this monster of the world also having preeminence over the believers life if the Promises of the Lord to them isn't a falsehood proclamation, and how can it be overcome in their life?

This is what this book is all about, to educate the Christians on how and why they should overcome the monster of the world called worry and anxiety in their life as they continue believing in the Lord. It is a one book I encourage every believer to get if they desire to enjoy their walk with the Lord.

Even sometimes, when it (worry and anxiety) tries to raise its ugly head in my heart with its stingy messages of why I should starting living my life with it, and my heart remember the messages in this book, my soul just receive peace as though someone just said to me “don’t worry because I am with you in this one, and will surely help you through it”.

INTRODUCTION

Worry, according to the Oxford advance learner’s dictionary, 8th edition, is the act of someone to keep thinking about unpleasant things that might happen, or about problems that one have. It can as well be defined as a state of the mind of someone being focused on the negative aspect of life situation due to the individual life observation and/ or experiences about life issues. When the mind is focused on these unpleasant parts of life issues formed by the individual personal observations and/ or experiences, sometimes, it leaves the mind of the one in a state of trauma (according to the same dictionary, it is an unpleasant mental condition of one caused by severe shock, especially when the harmful effect last for a long time. Also, it is an unpleasant experience that makes one feel upset and/ or anxious), and despondency (also, from the same dictionary, it is a state of feeling dejected, sad, being without much hope of attaining success in a set out thing to be done or is being done by someone) of attaining success in the thing he/she is engaged or is about engaging in, which sometimes, may cause the being to even despise life and his/her existence upon the earth.

It is also a state of one being anxious of a thing, because anxiety, also from the same Oxford dictionary, is the state of feeling nervous or worrying that something bad is going to happen by one. It is also a state of being afraid of something by one.

All these actions do take place in the mind of an individual. This is why I explain worry and anxiety as a traumatic substance of the mind, which produces fear, doubts and despondency in the heart of many people on why they are unworthy to be alive or be in existence with its uncertainty despondency messages of failures and worthlessness in their mind. It is also a perplexing thing of the human soul, which has left many people in a state of confusion, wondering the worth of their life here on earth? They wonder why life has not ended for them so that they can stop existing upon the earth. In fact, so perplexing is its state that it has left the whole world in a state of confusion of how to tackle its ' pandemic of the soul', stop its existence and influences on the lives of people. This is because despite the numerous measures laid down by many enlightened people to terminate or even reduce its effects in the lives of the people, so that they could be free a little from its pangs, almost all of its seems to be to no avail.

Its trauma of despondency and fear in the life of people of what the worth of their life is on earth, and what the future holds for them due to their little imperfection, still dwell so greatly in the heart of the people, hunting and hurting them every day and night. In fact, like a king in a kingdom having power and dominion over every subordinate of his, so is its influences in the life of people, defining almost all of the whole essence of their living on earth, like the sleeping and the awakening hour of them, their eating and refraining hour from eating, their busy and idle moments of the day etc.

So great like a mountain and so fierce like a burning furnace is its impacts in the soul of many that it has caused some to despise life and its existence through the taking away of their breath from their body that is the committing of suicide by many just to terminate their existence on the face of the earth. Yes, this is really true. From the internet to the media houses like the radio and television stations, one of the common messages that flows from there to us is the message of people committing suicide, mostly as a result of them feeling dejected, frustrated, depressed and despondence about attaining and/ or obtaining a specific success in life. All of these feelings can be source to them worrying and be anxious of a specific thing or issue of life. In fact, I once heard on a specific radio station which I can’t recall its frequency of a man who works in Lagos state, Nigeria, how he drove his car to a specific bridge, came down from it, and jumped into the sea, just to end his life as a result of feeling depress of life. He isn’t the only one I have heard of trying to do this act. I have also heard a lot of story about people from different parts of the states and countries of the world who also have committed this act. In fact, and again, one of the most common news that fills our ears this days is the message of people committing suicide because of feeling depress and dejected of life. And all these depression and dejection in these people life which have caused them to try to take away their life or even some have done so can be traced to one source “they are being worried and anxious of a specific thing or issue of life”.
